are you a NYC trust fundee?
surf
actually surfer, I made my $$ the old fashioned way..by having a very successful trading career so far. The last 13 yrs have been great to me..i've had a successful website, then parlayed that into a successful hedge fund whose assets have increased by 30X in 4 years.
I hate publicity, I love living a quiet, normal life. I read page 6 everyday, and would have cut off my right ball rather than been exposed to the negative publicity timmay seemed to yearn for. And I've never begged anyone to attend a party, it's called having self esteem.
thats great, man. i am sincerely happy for you and respect what you have done. however, you are not the average NY city resident.

Mark Cuban kicks ass...
People hate him because they wish they had what he has...
I don't think people have the same kind of hatred for TIMMAY...
Whatever...his on-air personality is embarassing and obnoxious, though I'm 100% sure he's 100% more toned down in public...
He's doing a character...
I LIVE iin nyc. I know what $100K buys per year. It buys you a small one bedroom rental and cost of living. Don't tell me I don't know about a city i've spent my entire life in. I'm talking about Manhattan. Your link includes Queens and other neighboring boroughs which obviously skew what's happening in Manhattan.

Yes surfer, i'm the same guy you begged to join your aborted message board a few years ago after I impressed you on ET w many great trades in a row. remember? I'm also the guy who shorted TZOO before it crashed and burned, and laughed in your face when you incorrectly said it was not borrowable. remember?
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.- T. Roosevelt

I don't understand why in all the talk about this schmuck, nobody mentions that it all happened in the bubble. That was a once in a lifetime period where penny stocks did close at $5.00 one day and open at $14 the next. This will probably never happen again. The kid was just in the right place at the right time.
Definitely more luck than skill. It was all about the time that it happened. When the Nasdaq stopped being in the stratosphere, this type of volatility died out and one-trick pony clowns like Sykes suddenly found themselves losing.
There were probably hundreds of thousands of people who in that time period turned 5 figures into 7. Most gave it all back, including apparently Mr. Sykes.
